Chapter 41- The Awoken Sleeping Lion.Tequila moved closer to Uthman as he held her and kissed her lips. Being so close to him reminded her of home. The stress of the past weeks was affecting Uthman and just being able to be with Tequila was like the solution to all of his problems. Tequila held him close and roamed her hand around his body, she just wanted to have a feel of him. Uthman's mouth left hers and began to nibble on her face and her neck.Tequila moaned as he bit on a particularly sensitive spot. She was getting more aroused and she wanted to touch him more when a knock sounded on Uthman's door. The both of them broke out of each other's embrace immediately out of shock.Uthman moved closer to her and whispered into her ear."Not now habibi, later, in my room," Uthman said to her. Tequila felt anticipation as she heard his words. She could not wait to go to his room later."Who is that?" Uthman said to the person that knocked then. Tequila cleared her throat and went to sit

Uthman walked down the hall with Tequila, holding her by the hand. They both went to the infirmary together. He was worried about his son, when he saw Uthman, he looked so lifeless and weak and that was why the King was angry at himself and started drinking.When they got into the room, Dream was awake and seated on the bed and Uthman jnr was beside her."Mama!" Uthman jnr said as he saw Tequila. His voice was not nearly as enthusiastic as it usually was, but Uthman was just grateful that he was talking."My baby," Tequila said and rushed to hold her child."Who was the maid that served the drinks? You should hold her and make her confess who gave her the poison," Amir said. He was on his feet and walking out of the bathroom. The man had clearly woken up with a vengeance."I will do that immediately," Uthman said, his mind had not gone to that area, and he was too busy wallowing in his own misery to think of how to solve the problem."You should. We have something to talk about," Ami

Dream rushed with Aliyah to the party and she felt a thrill while she was there, she was scared that they would be caught and Tequila would be so disappointed in her, so would Amir.Aliyah and Dream mounted the buffet and she was able to watch the party from afar. It all looked so beautiful and nice. It did not look at all like a wedding that was not going to hold. Dream was not around for her own sister's engagement party but she saw how happy the people looked when her sister's engagement was called off, they would prefer Jamila. It will not be easy for the King to leave Jamila and come back for Tequila again. It will be quite hard for him to do that. Dream knew that it would take a while for the people to accept Tequila again, she just hoped that when the time eventually came, they would accept her."Princess Jamila does look very pretty today," Aliyah said and Dream's eyes landed on her. It was no question that she was a very beautiful woman, she had a wonderful fashion sense and

Jamila was not at ease, she would not be at ease until Abdul was out of the palace for good. She had a very terrible feeling that Abdul would be caught and things would go south for her. Delilah only managed to calm her down at the moment but her anxiety was back again, she could not lose, she could not afford to be caught, she needed to be Queen by all means necessary. She was going to be the Queen, nothing would stop her, not the careless servant that did not remember to cover his face, not Uthman's little son, and certainly not the American mistress, she would be Queen."Are you done yet?" Jamila asked Delilah as she came out of the room. She had previously been pacing back and forth the corridors as Delilah and another of her trusted maids had been getting Abdul ready to leave."Yes Princess Jamila, I am done," Delilah said with a smile and stepped away from the door for Jamila to enter into the room. Jamila looked at Delilah's eyes, she looked very confident. It was something tha

Uthman was frustrated as to how the search went, it was all for naught because at the end the criminal could not be caught. They had searched the palace even after all the guests had left and they could not find the man. It seemed like he had escaped with the crowd when they were leaving."I was very thorough Uthman. Even if he was in disguise I would have seen him," Amir said and Uthman nodded."It has already happened, we need another way to get Jamila," Uthman said and Amir nodded."You are very right, we should begin to plan right away," Amir said."No, not yet. I need to get to the neighboring country for the meeting with the sheikh's," Uthman said and Amir sighed then nodded."Alright then, when you come back we will make the plans," Amir said."I will let you get ready," Amir continued and then left the King's room.Uthman nodded and a few minutes later, the maids, and surprisingly Tequila came to help him get ready."Habibi," Uthman said as his eyes fell on her."My King," Tequ
